Former JMU basketball player 'Wes Miller" Coaching UNC Greensboro
Former shooting guard, Wes Miller, was hired a few months back to be the new head coach of the UNC Greensboro basketball team. Miller played ball at JMU before transferring to North Carolina as a walk-on before his Sophomore year. Miller became a pivotal role player for the Heels and started one game, in which he scored 18 points by shooting 6 for 7 from three. After a short stint in the amateur pros and writing a book about his playing experience at UNC, he decided the only thing he wanted to do was coach basketball. After being an assistant at Elon and High Point University for only a year at each school, he was offered the interim head coaching job at UNC Greensboro, which eventually lead to a full-time offer. Since then, Miller posted an 11-11 record and a 10-5 conference record in the Big South. Miller recently decided to hire former UNC defensive stopper and assistant strength and conditioning coach, Jackie Manual. With current UNC men's basketball coach Roy Williams winding down his final years as a head coach, and Miller's ever growing resume, one might think the now 29 year old Wes Miller would be the ideal long term answer to Ol' Roy's eventual retirement. Only time will tell, but as of now, the former JMU shooting guard is on the right path to his coaching dream at UNC.
